--- Comment #3 from Daniel Ayers <daniel+kde...@daniel-ayers.com> --- I am aware of how to obtain a backtrace, however there is no sign of a coredump being created. I have installed debuginfo files for many KDE-related packages (including plasma-desktop, which installs the plasmashell binary). I have checked the system configuration to ensure that coredumps are saved. Yet, this event (which has occurred twice today) does not generate a coredump. Note the sequence of log messages I posted with the original ticket included this line: Feb 01 19:29:41 fedora37 systemd[7856]: plasma-plasmashell.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE The "plasma-plasmashell.service" is a user unit with the following definition: # /usr/lib/systemd/user/plasma-plasmashell.service [Unit] Description=KDE Plasma Workspace After=plasma-ksmserver.service plasma-kcminit.service PartOf=graphical-session.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/plasmashell --no-respawn Restart=on-failure Type=dbus BusName=org.kde.plasmashell Slice=session.slice TimeoutSec=40sec [Install] WantedBy=plasma-core.target Therefore the plasmashell binary terminated successfully with an exit code of 1. AFAIK when a process is terminated by a signal the return code will be >128. This would appear to eliminate the possibility that the process dumped core as a result of a signal, rather it suggests to me a "controlled" failure due to an error condition that was caught. Therefore I would expect that logging would be the only source of debugging information. If my understanding is wrong, I am happy to be corrected and do what I can to gather the required information. I have experienced the problem twice today (after the above changes to catch any coredump that was generated, none was). On both occasions today I was moving the mouse towards the "Konsole terminal" icon in the panel (not the leftmost Konsole icon that is always there, the second one further right that appears when at least one instance of the program is running). On the first occasion, one instance of Konsole was running. The crash occurred after my cursor was over the icon and before the window that would show a thumbnail of the running process appeared. On the second occasion, no instances of Konsole were running. I moved the mouse pointer over the Konsole icon (immediately net to the Fedora icon at the extreme left of the panel). Plasmashell crashed (exited) before the tooltip appeared above the icon that would say "Konsole Terminal". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
